Consulting Methodologies

Kaizen Events

There are many ways to design and implement process improvements. There are fewer ways to “make it stick.” Our experience has shown that the Kaizen Event model makes the most efficient use of client time and resources while firmly establishing critical new processes. The Kaizen Event model takes into consideration the way you do business, including all organization- and industry-specific regulations and requirements. By revealing the “why” behind your processes, the Kaizen Event approach ensures that all pertinent considerations are accounted for and given the required weight and value.

Our consultants work with your team to understand your processes. We then guide team members through a brief, customized Lean Six Sigma training, discussion and confirmation of all “current state” processes. Consultants then guide your team through the process re-engineering effort and shaping new “future state” processes. Through their team’s process participation, our clients see immediate buy-in, long-term sustainability, and reduced service interruption. In fact, the norm is virtually no interruption as new processes are implemented.Lean Six Sigma

After completing an assessment and a strategic plan, we conduct a Lean Six Sigma implementation over several weeks that will:

Kairos Worldwide is adept at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of processes within an organization. Most frequently, process re-engineering takes existing processes, systems and procedures and realigns them with new needs and goals, focusing on cost, quality, safety, service and speed.

Clearflow recognizes that changes within an organization, including process changes, are natural occurrences. Even after processes are optimized and organizations have been trained, natural business occurrences—new goals, products, services, IT systems, technologies or personnel changes —cause shifts. ClearFlow is a unique Kairos Worldwide plan in which our consultant revisits the client team(s) every 12-18 months to review previously optimized processes. Our consultant conducts a brief gap analysis to identify process changes and make recommendations, all aimed at ensuring that teams are running optimally.

Workflow Analysis allows Kairos Worldwide to observe and evaluate “current state” processes and progress of work within the client’s organization. A reevaluation of tasks, along with any new resources, is taken into consideration and provides a clear line of sight to key problem areas, enabling consultants to develop recommendations to solve individual task issues.

Organizational Development and change management challenges are ongoing, systematic processes. We examine how people, processes, protocols, systems and teams interact to determine the proper course. Often these challenges impact many teams and their roles; Kairos Worldwide solutions enable teams to work effectively and efficiently post engagement, even in the most troublesome situations. Typical recommendations include Development Plans, Training, Prototypes, and Rules and Responsibilities.

Productivity Improvement – or performance or capacity improvement – brings the Kairos Worldwide team onsite to conduct a full current state assessment, including interviews, data/documentation review, situational observation, technology/systems reviews and more to determine the needed steps to drive improvement above and beyond goal. Recommendations are always based on the highly specific needs of each individual client.

Team Role Augmentation. On some occasions, clients have particularly complex challenges where an individual or a team of individuals with key expertise are needed to embed into the client organization and on the project team. Kairos can provide either function for a wide variety of client needs, resulting in a more robust and complete deliverable.
